The dual role of oxygen functions in coal pretreatment and liquefaction: Crosslinking and cleavage reactions
The overall objective of this project is to elucidate and model the dual role of oxygen functions in thermal pretreatmment and liquefaction of low rank coals through the application of analytical techniques and theoretical models. The project will be an integrated study of model polymers representative of coal structures, raw coals of primarily low rank, and selectively modified coals in order to provide specific information relevant to the reactions of real coals. The investigations will include liquefaction experiments in microautoclave reactors along with extensive analysis of intermediate solid, liquid and gaseous products. Attempts will be made to incorporate the results of experiments on the different systems into a liquefaction model.
